Ron was a good friend. We were both in the 92nd academy and veterans. He car pooled with me everyday. He had been in the Navy and was assigned to RPB's. That was our connection. I was in a Marine Recon unit and knew Ron. It was a real coincidence.

I was not on duty that day but I was heart broken upon hearing of the circumstances of that fateful day. I never talked to that female sergeant again.
